Yay!

[Lynne Glasscoe @LynneGlasscoe]

Yay! Ireland one of the leading countries for wind generation globally 💨

[Justin Moran @moranjustin]

Great to see Ireland on the right side of an energy/climate chart!

[Marc Ó Cathasaigh @MarcKC_Green]

Great to hear that people's experience of arriving to Lismore has been broadly positive, though there are a number of concerns that residents voiced to the Minister @joefingalgreen that we'll be working together on to resolve.

[Wind Energy Ireland @WindEnergyIRL]

Just to set the record straight…

Anyone campaigning for bans on fixed-bottom turbines from Irish offshore wind farms are campaigning for higher carbon emissions.

[Eamon Ryan @EamonRyan]

10% of our energy last Thursday afternoon came from solar power. 6% from solar power plants @EirGrid graphic 👇& an estimated 4% from homes, farms and businesses.

That’s keeping 1 large power plant off the system. By next summer we will triple this.The Solar Revolution is here.

Talking is so last century … doing is what we should be at 🌻

Dear #ClimateChange deniers and bots

Over 99% scientist agree that #climatechange is happening and it is due to human greenhouse gas emissions

Stop telling everyone there is disagreement - as there is none!

The world is getting hotter 🌡 and it is us

Lies, damn lies … and the manipulation of statistics

One kilometer on a bike 🚲is a € 0.26 economic gain to society, one kilometer driving 🚗is a € 0.89 loss.

Imagine it for Ireland… cycle highways 🚲

[filter more streets @iambrianjones]

Imagine cycle tracks like this connecting every town, city, village, train station and hospital in the UK

Shoot …🤦🏼‍♀️

Just 3⃣ days until Ireland's Overshoot Day

The Earth can only re-generate so much in a single year. We'll have maxed out that capacity by 21st April this year

Meaning we'll be over-consuming & stealing from our own futures for 254 days this year

Just as we thought they had some respite from the persecution of the Greek authorities!

Just heard this week that Seán Binder, Sara Mardini and the @FrHumanitarians team will face a Supreme Court appeal in May

I raised it in the Parliament yesterday. Greece must #DropTheCharges

And yay for trees… 🌳

[Paul Brannen 🇺🇦 @PaulBrannenNE]

Have you ever wondered what one tonne of carbon safely removed from the atmosphere and stored looks like?

[Lynne Glasscoe @LynneGlasscoe]

Yay for wind 💨…

[Pippa Hackett @pippa_hackett]

A significant development for offshore wind and our journey towards energy decarbonisation and energy independence. The awarding of 7 Maritime Area Consents today by @EamonRyan allows the most viable & well-advanced offshore energy projects to progress.

@carolinenokes Violent words lead to acceptance of violent action . We need to eradicate inflammatory speech.
